BEER-SPRAYING DEVICE.

Specication of Letters Patent. Application led September 27, 1911.

Patented Aug. 6, 1912. Serial No. 651,566.

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX ADAMowsKI, a citizen of the United States, of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beer-Spraying Devices, of which the followingis a specication.

My invention relates to improvement-s in spraying devices for faucets and more speciiically to devices of this character especially designed for use in beer faucets. a

Ordinarlly spraying of beer at the faucet as it is drawn is not desired since such spraying results in the formation of foam. However, Where a large bucket or can trade is carried on this spraying'to facilitate the formation of foam is desired since the buckets lor cans brought by the purchasers are'of greater capacity than the amount which is purchased. The bar-tender in catering to this class of trade is desirous of filling the can or bucket irrespective of the size thereof for-.the amount tendered. This being so the object in forming a large amount of foam in the top of the can or bucket is obvious.

The object of my invention then is the production of the spraying device of the character mentioned, which will be effective in the formation of foam in the receptacle into which the liquid or beer is disposed, and further, a spraying device which will be of simple and economical construction, hence of low cost to manufacture. h

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

With these objects in View my invention consists in a spraying device characterized as above mentioned and in certain details of construction which will be hereinafter set forth.

My Ainvention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings folming a part of this specification, and in w 1c Fi re 1 is a sectional view of a faucet to wilch is applied a spraying device embodying my invention, the latter being also shown in section. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the spraying device detached. Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation thereof, and, Fig. 4 is a transverse section taken on line m-.w of Fig. 3.

and a residentV The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises a tubular body 1 'formed preferably of sheet metal. Said body 1 is split longitudinally so that the same may be contracted upon insertion into the faucet 2, and thus held in position therein by friction. Said body 1 also, is preferably tapered toward its upper end s0 as to facilitate insertion.

. Formed at the lower extremity of the body 1 is a plurality of radially disposed in- Wardly projecting fingers 3, preferably three mnumber and with said body.

A spraying device of the construction set forth will be adapted when arranged in a faucet to divide the stream passing through the former effecting the spraying thereof as preferably formed integral be readily and quickly arranged for use in a faucet or as readily and expeditiously detached therefrom when desired. The same is of extremely simple and economical construction and is of high efliciency in use.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modificationwithout departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A spraying device comprising a sheet of spring metal bent cylindrically having the upper terminal thereof of less diameter than the lower terminal, the edges of said metal being adapted to overlap to create a frictional supporting action in an outward direction, and a series of inwardl curved and downwardly extending fingers ormed at the lower termlnal thereof.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
